Vacation - Downtown Denver (part 2)

After spending the night at the Denver Marriott City Center we woke up to a drizzly morning.
Here is the view from our room.

Providentially there was a Corner Bakery right next door, 
so we didn't have to go far for breakfast. 

There were a few downtown sights that we had missed the previous evening so we took more pictures in the morning before we met with our son for lunch. 

Thirty years ago when we were in Colorado we ate at Casa Bonita.
It was a chain of restaurants that featured a multi-story, Mexican-themed atmosphere which included a 30-foot-tall waterfall, cliff divers, fire jugglers, strolling mariachi bands, a pirate cave, magicians, puppet shows, skee-ball machines, etc.
 The only location still open is this one in Lakewood, CO.


 After lunch at Chipolte with our son we picked up his dog and
ventured to the doggie park then on to Red Rocks. 




There is an amphitheater where many big name groups have played. 
 Concerts for 2015 include the following:
Alan Jackson, Chris Tomlin, 
The Smashing Pumpkins & Marilyn Manson,
and Tim McGraw.

We took a quick drive through the Coors campus as we headed out of town.


 
 Vacation . . . TO BE CONTINUED . . . 
Next up Fairplay, CO!
